In this situation it happens way too often that Lazarus suddenly just unloads from memory and I see a blank desktop. Thanks to AutoSave in most cases I have just to start Lazarus again to be back in business, at worst with the last 5 seconds of typing lost. But that does not hold true if I am working in the lpr file because that is not saved automatically!!! It just happened to me again and it causes problems trying to re-create the last hour or so of work done on this file. :( So I would REALLY be happy if someone who understands the workings of AutoSave can make it include the project file among the files saved by AutoSave! I have never ever looked at stuff that integrate within Lazarus itself so I could not fix it.... For a console program maybe I should create a mainprogram.pas file and put *everything* now located in the lpr file into that instead? Just leave a bare minimum in the lpr file... Pity to be forced to do that though. -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- _______________________________________________ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
